Summary
1.1 Introduction to the Research This study emphasizes on the significance of employee motivation and the impact of rewards system on employees‟ motivation, satisfaction, and performance. When the staff feels they are justly rewarded for their ability, expertise, intellect, and involvement, they are considered to be satisfied with their job, resulting, they perform better at their job (Bhattacharya & Mukherjee, 2009) Factors such as providing a bonus on achieving more than the target sales and recognizing their work and praising them are rewards that motivate an employee. A fair and just reward system helps build up potential in the employee and pushes the employee to work hard This usually results in better performance leading to increased employee productivity (UKEssays, 2018). Long hours can cause stress to the workers and decline their productivity in the long run
